Where it is
507 Riverdale Ave. S.W.
The design
Low maintenance, high efficiency and luxurious design elements are all woven throughout this home. Double-wide and offset walls offer extra insulation paired with moisture-resistant “blue wood” and noise-dampening insulation.
Inside, a multi-story living wall brings a striking natural element to the home, while also helping oxygenate and purify the air. The expansive windows throughout the home are all triple pane, so while they allow plenty of warm natural lighting in, no heat or cold can escape the home. Solar hot water and solar panels further help lower the cost of gas and electricity bills.
The home is also designed throughout to be fully wheelchair accessible, and has an elevator that connects to all the floors.
What to love
This home is a dream place for homeowners who enjoy low maintenance, eco-friendly living with luxurious appeal. The open living area boasts a clean-burning fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling glass wall which fully opens to the sunny, south-facing deck. The kitchen is a dream for chefs and entertainers with its stone pizza oven, high-end appliances, hydroponic herb fridge, butler pantry and even a second outdoor kitchen.
The home’s third floor is the primary retreat with an indulgent meditation nook overlooking the river, a spacious closet and a striking ensuite with floor-to-ceiling granite tile and a deep soaker tub. The home office features accordion glass doors opening to a private balcony with sweeping views.
What to consider
Between the sweeping river and valley views, access to top inner-city schools steps away from the river pathways, parks and more, this home is in an ideal location for a wide range of homeowners. With its focus on energy efficiency, it brings lower monthly utility bills with the benefit of helping protect the environment on a daily basis.
